h3rrington Reminiscent of the era of cassette tapes warping on the dash of 88 civics under the roaring summer sun this album oozes with talent and nostalgia for a time where your favorite tracks were passed to others. Where having a copy of good music to share was social currency. Little Yellow Dog brings us back to the summers of mixtapes and cherishing an album by playing it on repeat. Favorite track: Not Alone.

I saw you laugh and cry all just today Well aren't they one in the same People tell me that you're already gone Well I'm convinced you're coming home Cause when I close my eyes I look right into yours And when I close my eyes the world, it's becoming yours Everyone tells me that this is all a waste of time Well they're right, but I love to be wrong Your appointed point of view tell me to go Now I know you're never coming home Cause when I close my eyes I look right into yours And when I close my eyes the world, it's becoming yours As the lights grow brighter while the sun goes down You wander around looking for a shot at love And as you wander searching for a man To fit in your hand, I hope he's different Cause when I close my eyes I look right into yours And when I close my eyes the world's already yours

Routine 02:56
Make, won't you make, the mistakes you make again? Take me away to where this all began. Break, won't you break, the routine you've been living in? Cause I'm so tired and you're so boring. Fake, won't you fake, the way you've been looking at him? Shake, won't you shake, away those feelings you've been keeping in? Break, won't you break, the routine you've been living in? Cause I'm so tired and you're so boring.

Radio Plays 03:47
The lights turned green Long ago I saw them change But I couldn't move myself to go Cause the radio plays My favorite songs Over and over Over and over and over again And I listen I listen I listen If I can't, I know you will His skin starts to glow In the room Where you made Where you made your first mistake So bury you nose And hide your face From the one who From the one who told you those lies And bury him And bury him Right in the ground Till you can't remember his name And bury him And bury him Right in the ground Till you can't remember his name

See the pictures up on the wall They're always staring, stirring up what they don't know Keep talking gossip about the way things always are Tea and crumpets on a Monday morning You can't afford it, keep telling yourself "no" Your arms are flailing in the northern wind I'm only asking those question I'll never win I'm only asking and you tell me "never, never again" Walk through the forest and run up a stream If it's so easy, why can't you see what I mean Oh darling it's only one more meal I'm only asking those questions you're never thinking of I'm only asking why can't you ever get enough? See the pictures up on the wall They're always staring, stirring up what they don't know Keep talking gossip about the way things always are What they don't know is how in love we really are What they don't know is how in love we really are

You won't go out, but you'll open your mouth Spreading doubt all over town Just shut your lips, and open your ears We'd be your friend, but you're breath is on fire I know it's hard, making a change I've been there once or six times before Just speed it up, we're waiting on you We'd be your friend, but your breath is on fire

76 03:54
It's the last call for the 76 A bus ride I'll always miss The bite of the air I'll never forget On those long walks home you were always filled with so much regret I've spent a lifetime building these ties For some fast-friends I've watched live and die But you've got the look to keep you here From denim to lace I saw you change without fear You keep bringing me back to the worst part of town We'll roll around till we fall to the ground You're afraid, scared, of missing out I'll leave you alone by yourself to figure it out Your're afraid, scared of missing out Please pickup where you left off The pills in the bathroom were where you got lost And I know you've got a story to tell Of all the places you went in that frozen hell Your nail map out the roads you went down As those tour guides watched you as you drown In the deepest lake they've ever seen In the darkest corner of your mid-day's dream You keep bringing me back to the worst part of town We'll roll around till we fall to the ground You're afraid, scared, of missing out I'll leave you alone by yourself to figure it out Your're afraid, scared of missing out I'll leave you alone by yourself to figure it out And you bring me to this town again We'll roll around till we fall to the ground You're afraid, scared, of missing out I'll leave you alone by yourself to figure it out Your're afraid, scared of missing out I'll leave you alone by yourself to figure it out

The smell of your body fill the room I try to escape it, it looms It's coming back A ghost at night, shackles clanging Wakes me up, recalling every word I sang It's such a pain Where have I gone? And what have I done? A constant reminder of the formless grey. Oil and water bead on the skin Lifting off its counterpart afraid It's such a shame Recalling words I once said to you You know they were never true And we're pulling through Where have I gone? And what have I done? A constant reminder of the formless grey. Caramel colored sweat beads Lightning pours over all your electric, eccentric party lovers They're twitching, and glitching, foaming over Cause they pent up their emotions, picked up all the trimmings Razors slice into every last one of their tongues Where have I gone? And what have I done? A constant reminder of the formless grey.

Brave 03:20
You follow your love back to her place every night But you end up in a different town You're confused and you stumble over the right words Is she the one you went home to two days ago? You'll never know Cause you're hiding your face from the one that you love You're pleading innocence from all the gods up, up above You're so brave Now go home and get some sleep You'll need the rest before the storm comes again And I'll go home, I'll get some sleep But mind speaks up, it speaks, speaks, speaks "You're the one I've been running from" Cause I'm hiding my face from the ones that I love I've been pleading innocence from the gods up up above I'm so brave
9.
Not Alone 03:40
You tell yourself that you're doing right End up in the same crowd every night They're just like you and they're just like me Hanging around where they're supposed to be So we're not alone, no we're not alone We'll never be alone, unknown I'll tell you now, "you're doing right" So long as you end up by my side tonight Cause I'm just like you and you're just like me We're hanging around where we're supposed to be So we're not alone, no we're not alone We'll never be alone, unknown

Pretty Jane 02:58
Pretty pretty pretty pretty Jane She was pretty pretty pretty pretty plain White shoes and a velvet tie She was always one of, one of the guys Pretty pretty pretty pretty Jane Pretty pretty pretty pretty lame

Get By 07:14
Let me suffer Let me be your pretty thing I'm learning what to bring, no, nothing at all Rip me open, burn everything I'm learning what to bring no, no, no, nothing at all And now I know Just how far I'll go To get by Let me get by Let me suffer Let me be your pretty thing I'm learning what to bring, no, nothing at all Rip me open, burn everything I'm learning what to bring no, no, no, nothing at all And now I know Just how far I'll go To get by Let me get by Let me get by Let me get by Let me get by
